Sevilla to miss out on first-choice managerial target
La Liga outfit Sevilla look set to miss out on a deal for their priority managerial target. That's according to market insider Matteo Moretto, who has confirmed that Imanol will not be the man to take his place on the bench at The Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán next season. Advertisement The name of tactician Imanol had taken its place centre stage in the media headlines surrounding Sevilla over recent days. This came after widespread reports surfaced, assuring that the 53-year-old was close to agreeing on the terms of a contract with the Nervionenses. Imanol is currently available for work, after bringing a surprise close to his Real Sociedad stint upon the close of the 2024/25 campaign. Safe to say, then, that it will come as a blow for those of a Sevilla persuasion to learn that, in fact, the Spanish tactician looks set to take his talents elsewhere. As per a report from the aforementioned Matteo Moretto: Advertisement 'Imanol Alguacil will not be Sevilla's next coach.' Conor Laird – GSFN

Barcelona defender set for surgery after injury on international duty
Barcelona have been relatively injury-free over the course of the season, but saw two of their players go down on international duty at the under-21 Euros on the opening day of competition. One of them is set for surgery. Spain were up against the hosts Slovakia on Wednesday, and after going 2-0 up in the opening 20 minutes, were forced to find a late winner through Cesar Tarrega after Slovakia had mounted a second-half comeback. La Rojita will face Italy and Romania in their remaining group games. Gerard Martin set for surgery Barcelona have two players with Spain at the tournament, with Gerard Martin and Pablo Torre both starting. Both were performing well, but would not make it to the end of the match due to injury, with Martin coming off at half-time, and Torre taken off 13 minutes into the second half. Image via Sport. Advertisement Martin had suffered a hand injury, and Jijantes report that he has suffered a break. The 23-year-old has flown back to Barcelona to undergo surgery – it is not yet clear how long he will be out for. The fact that he has left the Spain camp for surgery suggests his tournament with the under-21 side could be over though. Meanwhile Torre came off with muscle discomfort, and so far there has been no update on his injury either. Doubts about future Martin enjoyed a decent debut campaign for Barcelona under Hansi Flick, and was set to be Alejandro Balde's alternative next year too. Yet following interest from the Premier League, with three teams looking at him, it has emerged that the Blaugrana would be willing to cash in on Martin. The asking price is reportedly €12m. As a result, Barcelona are now on the lookout for potential left-back opportunities on the transfer market, should an offer for Martin arrive. Bayer Leverkusen's Alejandro Grimaldo has voiced a desire to return to the Blaugrana.

Ginola makes Howey's most skilful top three
Throughout Thursday, we have been revealing who Newcastle legend Steve Howey believes are the club's most skilful players ever. He awards third place to David Ginola, who Newcastle beat European giants Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus to sign in 1995. Advertisement Speaking to BBC Radio Newcastle, Howey recalled his first training session with his former team-mate. "We used to test players when they used to come into the training ground for the first time as the standard of our five-a-side was absolutely incredible, and not a lot of players could deal with it," he said. "And there were a couple of new signings that didn't recover. "The very first ball that [Ginola] got was whipped in at him and bounced horribly, but he killed it stone-dead, dropped his shoulder, went the other way and stuck it right in the top corner. "I didn't know that much about him, but wow. what a player and a great lad as well. Back then, you could absolutely whack a player, and David used to get hit, but he never went down unless he was wiped out. "Such a good player and so comfortable with both feet."
